If baking is your passion, you have to make these cream scones with currants. They are the perfect breakfast, served with coffee or a cup of tea. The whole procedure takes less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
The ingredient list is made up of:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup currants or 1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup butter
1 beaten egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
4-6 tablespoons half-and-half cream
Instead of the butter you can use shortening or margarine in the same amount.
Instructions
Set the oven to 400 F degrees.
Mix the flour, baking powder, butter, salt, and sugar together until you get a texture that looks like crumbs. Add one of the eggs, the currants or raisins, and just a little half-and-half.
You should be able to remove the dough from the bowl after adding the half-and-half.
Add some flour to the surface of the countertop and place the dough on it. Knead it, then make it 1/2 inches in thickness. Make circles of it with the size of 2 1/4 inches.
Place them on the baking sheet and lightly go over them with the second egg.
Leave the cream scones with currants in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
This recipe will get you 10 to 12 scones.
